Wilco Plan Spring ‘09 Release For More-Sculpted New Album

8/18/08, 2:39 pm EST


Wilco are eyeing a Spring 2009 release for their next album, Jeff Tweedy told an Albany, New York radio station. Whereas their last album Sky Blue Sky was recorded under almost jam-session circumstances, Tweedy says the band will “allow ourselves a little bit more leeway in terms of sculpting the sound in the studio and doing overdubs and using the studio as another instrument. Last time around, it was more of a document.” Wilco are already performing a pair of new songs live: “One Wing,” which is reportedly reminiscent of Sky Blue closer “On and On and On,” and the looser, riff-driven “Sunny Feeling.” While Tweedy said following the release of Sky Blue Sky that those studio sessions resulted in a number of unfinished songs, it’s unclear whether those tunes will be the basis for the band’s seventh album.

Great news! I heard the new songs when they played Indianapolis a couple weeks ago. ‘One Wing’ reminded me more of ‘Impossible Germany’, but once it hit the chorus it gets really dark and beautiful. Different from ‘Sky Blue Sky’. Lyrically it’s not a sunshine either. Darker as well. ‘Sunny Feeling’, if we’re comparing to ‘Sky Blue Sky’, then this is definitely comparable to ‘Walken’. Nels Cline plays some amazing slide guitar, not lapsteel this time, but actual slide guitar. Very cool. And lyrically it’s amazing…playful and fun, but with a pretty sharp edge…I can’t wait for this album. I think it could be their best yet, judging by the incredible songs I’ve heard so far….cheers
